Faye asked for a gray poncho just like the one I made for myself here. She asked and she got it. Well, she will get it only if I know how to make it. I crocheted tighter for this one than the one I made for myself. I like the feel and the look of the Caron Simply soft yarn but this yarn is easily wear out!

My friend, Joan, called me last month. She told me she needed baby boy favors. Now that was music to my ears! She said she needed only 30 favors for three baby boys shower. My thought was "that was little for 3 baby showers." So I said, Lindsy is expecting, Desirae just had a baby not too long ago, who are the other two expecting? Joan said, Lindsy is expecting triplet and they are identical. OMG! what a miracle! Both side of the family had no history of twin or triplet and there was no fertility involved. How excited is that!

I wanted to add embellishment but was afraid it would look girly so I just leave them plain.

I crochet a lot so I have some crochet motifs sitting around. I was browsing through the web and saw a card using crochet motif. I have some of those motifs. I got to work right a way and about 10 minutes later here is my card. See the original card here.

I wanted to see how the pink back ground would look so I made another one.

I like the first one better. The white and green just made everything pops.

I made these doll clothes while I was in FL last week. For this set I used 3 ply yarn and I like it better then the 4 ply yarn. The finished clothes fit the doll better. For the skirt I used the butterfly stitches from here.

I will miss the nice weather in Florida but it is good to be back home even though it is cold out. While in Merritt Island Victor and I were working on our little yellow trailer home. We are hoping to retire there one day. So three times a year we travel 1000 plus miles each way to maintain the trailer/trim the trees.

Then I took the children to the Kennedy Space Center. Are you wondering where Victor was? I dropped him and his kayak off at a fishing place. Right around the Kennedy Space Center, we saw several alligators but was able to capture only one.

I really need to update my cell phone and catching up with a more updated gadgets because for this trip I forgot the internet wireless and my camera doesn't work as well as before. For nine days we didn't have the internet and everyone survived especially my older son.

I got the next picture from google. The tour guy told us that this building is one of the four biggest buildings in the world. Statue of liberty can easily fit through the door.

The flag on the building was the biggest American flag ever painted. It used over 60,000 gallons of paint and more than 50 tour buses can park on the flag.

Then there was the Saturn V center. Again I got the picture below from google.

I didn't hear the tour guy when he told us about the size of the building that house the Saturn V but my son, Jay, told me that the building was as long as 39 stories building.

There were so many things to explore at the Kennedy Space Center. A one day visit to the center was not enough. I am a person who like to get my $ worth so I purchased an annual pass to the center. You would not believe the difference between a one day pass and an annual pass. A one day pass cost $50 before taxes (it used to be only $25) and an annual pass cost $63 before taxes (it used to be $34 just a few years ago). We are going to Florida at least 3 times a year so I will definitely be visiting the center again and again. The new exhibit call the Atlantis will be opened the end of June. All the astronauts will be there to cut the ribbon. It will be awesome to be there on the opening day.
